This the Mini Decapod is a newer and shorter version of the full-size Decapod that we have come to know and love. The Mini is an answer to those who find the full-size pen too long for their pockets, yet want a pen that is long enough to fit the hand. (The tail of this pen comes above the web between the thumb and finger of a big fisted guy.)

The facets of this fountain pen follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape that can be described by pure geometry except that it is subtly more complex. In the end it is the eye and the hand that this shape most satisfies.

The ten sided shape has another function. Because it is not round in cross section it is not likely to roll off a desk. The yellow pencil evolved from a cylinder shape to be a faceted. The Decapod gives facets an entire new meaning.

The closed length of this pen is just over five inches, the barrel, not including the nib and feed is about 3 3/4". It has the same long gripping section as the full size pen. See out Pen Measurements page for more comparisons.

The heavy decorative rice paper, simple solid softwood shipping box and fabric pouch make a lovely presentation for Nakaya Urushi pens. Sensible and elegant packaging have been a hallmark of Nakaya.
